Jesus Satisfies (5 of 14)
Series: Jesus' Glory
Steve Jones
John 6
SERMON SUMMARY: Jesus' feeding of the 5,000 illustrates the glory of his satisfaction. Jesus satisfies us with 1) Living Bread, 2) True Bread, and 3) Edible Bread.
Introduction: I recommend showing the dramatized version of Jesus feeding of the five thousand, John 6:1-15, from YouTube as part of the introduction.
God designed the wheat kernel, as well as other grains to perfectly store the nutrients within. Once broken open, as in milling, the nutrients immediately begin to oxidize. Within about 72 hours 90% of over 30 nutrients are virtually gone. Prior to the 1900s most flour was milled locally and the bread baked at home. Since the flour could not be stored, only enough grain was ground fresh each day to meet the needs of the community. However, in the 1920s, new technology allowed enterprising millers to separate the wheat components. By removing the germ, germ oil, and the bran the remaining white flour could be stored indefinitely. That's because there was nothing nutritious left for bugs to eat. Lucrative markets were also found for the nutritious ''by-products'' of this new milling process. The bran and wheat germ were sold as high protein food supplements for cattle. Local mills soon went out of business as the large roller mills produced huge volumes of long lasting white flour. This appeared to be a great advance in technology. In just a short time, however, cases of beriberi and pellagra began to drastically increase. Both diseases are the result of vitamin B deficiencies and health officials traced the problem to the new white flour. The new milling process strips the B vitamins as well as about 24 other nutrients from the wheat kernels.
Health officials urged mills to return to producing whole wheat flour again but they did not want to lose their very profitable market of selling the germ and bran as cattle feed. Instead, millers chose to ''enrich'' the white flour by ...
